Hamburg State Prosecutor Chastity Riley and her colleagues investigate the murders of men with a history of abuse towards women ... as a startling, horrifying series of revelations emerge. Germany's Queen of Krimi returns with the darkly funny, mesmerizingly dark next instalment in an addictive series...
`Simone Buchholz is my favourite German crime writer¿ Mark Sanderson, The Times
`Such a revelation¿ Laura Lippman
`German-American Chastity Riley [is] snooty, churlish, sarcastic, sometimes drunk and always inappropriate. The whole series breaks the boundaries of typical crime novels¿ Romy Hausmann
`A distinctive voice, and a flawed but compelling protagonist. This is vintage Buchholz - style and sass and St Pauli¿ Will Carver
________
When neatly packed male body parts wash up by the River Elbe, Hamburg State Prosecutor Chastity Riley and her colleagues begin a perplexing investigation.
As the murdered men are identified, it becomes clear that they all had a history of abuse towards women, leading Riley to wonder if it would actually be in society's best interests to catch the killers.
But when her best friend Carla is attacked, and the police show little interest in tracking down the offenders, Chastity takes matters into her own hands. As a link between the two cases emerges, horrifying revelations threaten Chastity's own moral compass, and put everything at risk...
